Hello all! I'm back! And i'm treating you to my first fic with an actual plot!

Lots of reviews will motivate me to update, and no, it's not blackmail!

Live and Burn
"Shuichi Minamino!"

Kurama's head snapped up, so fast that he cricked his neck. "Ow….." He mumbled, rubbing it. "Yes, Teacher?"

"Pay attention!"

"Yes, Teacher..." He repeated, groaning inwardly. It had been a tiring week. Two demon raids in Ningenkai and highly repetitive trouble from a gang in the demon realm. Kurama had clawed, slashed, and kicked his way through the last couple days, and was now bruised, battered, and torn to show for it. All he really wanted to do was sleep, which he had been doing quite comfortably until his ever-alert teacher noticed.

'Well, no going back now.' He thought, opening his textbook. He had to at least pretend to pay attention if he wanted to survive the day.


Botan sat at her desk, rifling through the seemingly endless paperwork. 'Hiroshi Yamato-San is due any minute now.' she thought. 'I'd best be going.'

Gathering her oar, her notepad, and a map of Tokyo, she walked toward, the door, humming contentedly until she nearly ran into-

"Yo!"

"Sir!" she screeched, stumbling backwards. "Don't do that!"

"Sorry, Botan." Chuckled Koenma. "But it does so amuse me. Anyhow, I need you to round up our detective and friends. I have a mission for them"

"For the boys?" asked Botan. "With all due respect, sir, this is the fourth time this week, and-"

"No!" Koenma interjected. "I'm afraid the members of Team Urameshi are the only that can handle what I have in mind."

"But Hiroshi Yamato-san is-"

"Taken care of!"

Botan sighed. There was no getting out of it now. "Yes sir" She said obediently. She then mounted her oar and flew off in search of Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei.
